Maybe the problem is not the moderators

[🇰🇵Burner🇰🇵]

But the rules themselves, the moderators just enforce them

What if we petition to simply just remove all of the rules? Then there is no need for moderators at all !

Or perhaps a petition to replace whoever wrote the rules, so they can instead write different ones.

I would like to volunteer as a candidate for this job, and if I am elected the Rules will be as follows:



Thank you for your attention

DrunkDwarf said there are 100 moderators. But people complain about only one of them.

We also had a discussion about just forbidding the outlaw string entires in the chat via regexp, or smth like that.
But DrunkDwarf said it will cause lags whether being checked on server or client.
I have not comprehend why it is cannot be done in an additional thred, when Mord uses like just 4 threads.
But this chat message validation is not as simple as it looks.
I know an old slasher - Savage 1, where such client side validation is implemented by communit devs. But it is old game with 500fps, nobody noticing when it drops to 300 for whatever reason.

The rules are in place to maintain a fair and respectful environment for everyone. Moderators are responsible for enforcing these rules — they do not create them arbitrarily. Suggesting the removal of all rules or proposing that individuals with a history of infractions be responsible for rewriting them is not a serious or constructive approach. Similarly, suggesting that the developers be replaced over rule enforcement decisions is a clear bad-faith argument and will be treated as such.

While we’re open to feedback, the framework of the rules is not subject to public vote or petition. Rule enforcement exists because a small subset of users consistently violate basic standards of conduct — not because the rules themselves are inherently flawed.

If those who were punished actually learned from their mistakes, they would be penalized less frequently — and we wouldn’t see so much manufactured outrage from them or their peers, who continue to deflect responsibility for inappropriate behavior.
